Background and approach
Jessica uses approaches that emphasize the client's perspective and practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ready to make changes related to substance use or other habits. Over a long career Jessica has worked in many settings, including employee assistance programs, psychiatric care, addiction treatment, crisis work, and a local hospital. She has also taught at a university level.
That range of experience supports work on issues like post-traumatic stress, personality concerns, caregiving stress, and first responder issues. Her approach is collaborative. She helps people decide which methods fit their situation and adjusts as progress is made.
She welcomes people dealing with loneliness, life purpose questions, or challenges related to aging and women's issues.
Using practical approaches online to manage anxiety and stress
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and responding with empathy and respect. It helps when someone needs a steady, listening presence while sorting through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches simple tools to test unhelpful thinking and try new actions that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time so the approach matches what you need and what helps you make progress.
Online therapy offers options to fit daily life. Video calls let you have full conversations similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
